What’s needed are ‘data-center’ regulations that require any water used for their operations not come from existing water systems. If your data center (whether it’s handling AI training or transactions) requires a billion gallons of water, you’re going to have to provide that water yourself, and it cannot come from…

Pretty sure this constitutes fraud — selling a product or service and then deliberately not delivering what was sold while misleading the customer about it. And if Musk gave the order, well, he’s personally and financially responsible for it.

‘Good,’ in this particular context, is worse than meaningless. It’s like being called a ‘good’ thief or a ‘good’ serial killer. Company ‘leaders’ do a lot of things, on a regular basis, to artificially boost (or maintain) their stock prices that are absolutely not good for the companies themselves and even worse for…

I suppose if there’s a use for AI to which I wouldn’t object, this certainly falls into that category. The IRS is and has been chronically underfunded and understaffed for a long time (deliberately, at the behest of these same society-robbing wealthy assholes), because of a political ideology that is a self-fulfilling…

Yes, but it’s still a pig.

19 republicans, 5 democrats. That fascist-support ratio seems about right.

16 times nothin’ is, let me do the math — nothin’, carry the nothin’...

Nobody *LIKES* striking. It’s not enjoyable. They *WANT* to be doing something more productive, just like pretty much everyone else. But they also don’t like being exploited, marginalized, and abused. Also just like pretty much everyone else.

Oblivions, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, etc — they’re all solid evidence that Bethesda either has no UI/UX developer on staff, or the ones that they have are genuinely terrible at the job. But considering how low the bar is for ‘acceptable’ UI/UX work across software development, that’s not really saying anything —…

And let’s be honest — these are the same people who are all in on replacing *EVERYONE ELSE* with AI. Just like with Saudia Arabia’s “The Line” idea.

How can you tell the difference between an AI Trump and the real one? The AI is smarter.

“Just because it’s not doing what you want doesn’t mean it isn’t working.”

“It’s hard to get a man to understand something when his paycheck depends on him not understanding it.”

Easily the creakiest, jankiest engine still actively being developed on by a major studio. For better and worse, because it’s honestly both.

It’s certainly a step in the right direction, but it’s more telling about the sorry state of American’s organized labor movement that unions have devolved this far from what was once the backbone of the American economy. And I’m fully serious when I say that unions were the backbone of the American economy. Not…

This was a choice by Twitter and Musk to replatform Trump for personal and financial reasons. As such, Twitter and Musk should now be financially and legally liable for every lie that Trump posts, every libel, every word. Everything. It is well and truly known exactly who and what Trump is, so the choice to bring him…

Republicans haven’t let facts and reality get in the way of their agenda before. They’re certainly not going to start now.

It’s not like they ‘announced’ anything gamers didn’t already know — another Elder Scrolls game was coming. Eventually. It was never a question of ‘if.’ Only when.

It’s a nice and timely reminder that capitalism and its dogmatic, cultist adherents don’t give a shit about people and never will. It and they are only responsive to profits. It is the only mechanism that exists within capitalism. Profits go up = good. Profits go down = bad. That’s it. That is the sum total of its…

The strange thing is, when you think really think about and break down how the typical JRPG battle works, it maps quite well onto the the standard wrestling match design: a fixed set of opponents, mostly taking turns, with a predetermined and largely fixed space for the combat. Which, honestly, shouldn’t come as a…
